Great Western Way

I'm going home, tho home's where I've come from
I've got to know what's been going on
no mistakes got a mixtape of all my favourite songs
chose this day gotta escape and it won't be too long
'til the photograph by the phonograph and the faces that I see
will just climb down off their picturehooks and be staring back at me
I know all it takes is to hear those breaks and I know just where I'll be
I'll be right back in the garden with the moon and Sandy Martin
Great Western Way there's not been a day I've not been thinking of you
driving round in stolen cars
just say you'll stay tedious and grey and we'll be drinking partners
Not long ago the factory was strong
now they wanna know just what's going wrong
they build an estate where the kids play it's the same old song
gotta risk take what a pisstake and now it's almost gone
but in a photograph there's an olden craft and the faces of a team
consigned now to a library book now their engine's out of steam
and a sorry face they put in the place where a smile there once had been
but we'll be right back where it started when we move and it's departed
Great Western Way there's not been a day I've not been thinking of you
driving round in stolen cars
just say you'll stay tedious and grey and we'll be drinking partners

Attention Span
03:45
|

Give me your attention span
now give me the light give me the sound
give me the stage give me the crowd
giving it everything I've always done there's no question
on the box the mic came in I'm a serving suggestion
you know the way it's transposing
one bud opens up and another needs closing
I'm all for those frozen looks I usually get when I'm rhyming
cos people haven't figured me out yet but..
just look at their faces when I play with words
I go all these places but I see these people are all looking at me funny
and I'm wondering what can that be?
It's such a strange kind of feel, feeling so strange
what should I do? what should I say?
should I make some adjustments and go with the flow
be that kind of rapper you already know?
Show me those extention plans
show me the size show me the ground
show me the weight show me the sound
show me the way I'm supposed to behave when I'm rhyming
I know sometimes I might confuse you with my timing but hey
you know what they say it's the way I've been raised
I found that my school was so boring
they could've showed me books and made me teachers pet
but they never cos they never quite figured me out yet but..
just look at their faces when I'm done with words
I take them these places but my report card said I was never happy
unless I had all the class looking at me
It seems whatever I do, whatever I say
wasn't quite true it just came out that way
should I make my excuses and step to the back?

No Sense
02:22
|
|||
Sometimes it doesn't make sense, the cost of living it makes no sense
the always giving it makes no sense it makes no sense
can't make no sense
hard for me to leave my residence
with all these living this high pretence but I've got this (sweet)
melody in my head ever going round
even if if this worlds intents, so many governments years expense
is all towards the wars on no evidence it makes no sense
can't make no sense
hard for me to find all of my rents, I'm down to my last 15 pence
and you wonder why this (sweet) melody's in my head?
well I'll tell you now
you should come and see where I live
those streets that are known for the drugs and the violence
where the people are so paranoid
can't talk so they're walking around in silence
every single day I say I must get up get out get involved with the resolute
make another nice track make an impact
have a handclap and a rap and a clever loop
but even that shit don't make sense
cos nowadays rap shit don't make sense
it makes no sense can't make no sense
for all the pioneers intelligence all they wanna hear is 50 Cents
I'm lucky I've this (sweet) melody in my brain
cos it's keeping me sane
keeping my brain going from an animal down to a vegetable
this strain over this pain keeping me down
I hope you're fully entertained
it's been a drain I'll see you all at the afterparty
give me cocaine I'll be (sweet) I'll be right as rain, come again
but if I did that it wouldn't make sense
if I done snort that it wouldn't make sense
for all I've been taking it wouldn't make sense
can't make no sense
caught up in a world of such expense
losing my mind plus all of my friends
would I still have that (sweet) melody up there I don't know but
I know I've gotta get thru this fence
if I want an omelette I've gotta break eggs
even if this world makes no sense it don't make sense
it'll never make sense
so I've gotta keep my vibe intense
and all the way thru my existence
try to to give the world these melodies in my mind

Cry
03:08
|
|||
I never was so glad since I got out of detention
I never was one who worked so hard to play the rules
and how it read on my report I wasn't one who paid attention
and every so often I would cause those in the room to rebel
but I never said punch your headmaster or kick over your table
you'll feel much better then you'll feel more stable
if you smash your blackboard and burn all your paper
you'll be much older then you could leave school
and kick the arese off this world find yourself a weapon
you'll only end up in jail or heaven
the cause of this world isn't your children who get angry and cry
I live in a house without a garden or extention
I live in a town that makes it hard for me to move out of it
and one of my pastimes is checking out for records
hey some of them move me and some of them tell me to rebel
but they never say mess with your mark or do yourself injustice
they say if the waters high you'll rise above this
go grab yourself a shotgun and blow your post office
they don't mean literally they just mean find a key
that kicks the arse off this world find yourself a weapon
you'll only end up in jail or heaven
the cause of this world isn't your children who get angry and cry
the problem's not ours the problem's in the house of lords
the house of frauds
how they work to keep one up and another one down
but when you look around you see
there's not many I know out there who can afford a house abroad
oh it's hard enough to find home even in your town

Knew You From B4

Hi this is Paul remember me? we were at school 11C
well I just saw you on tv and my my
when they made you a crown how they made you a clown
are you shameless now you're famous
I still recall so many things you couldn't dance you couldn't sing
you wasn't poor you had everything so why lie?
when they made you a crown how they made you a clown
are you shameless now you're famous
so you're going around and you're claiming you're part of it
those who gather round'll think you're so pure
but nobody knows of the games at the heart of it
unless they knew you from Before you had a single in the charts
before they swooned with broken hearts
you was at school and you was a fart do I lie?
when they made you a crown how they made you a clown
are you shameless now you're famous
yeah I know that you can hear me inside of your glass capsule
shop now pay later
it's all I really wanna say is just to check that you're ok
you never acted quite this way are you sure
when they made you a crown how they made you a clown
are you shameless now you're famous
so you're going all around and you're claiming you're part of it
those who gather round'll think you're so pure
but nobody knows of the games at the heart of it
unless they knew you from Before

The evil men can, the evil men cancan
who could make the world so bad?
you know it's not a bad place
cos if you disregard the rat race
you would really see just what's going on
who could make a child so sad
you know his heart when that breaks
even tho there's no marks on that face
you would never know just what's going on
who could make a world so bad?
who could make a world so wrong?
who would leave us oh so mad?
who would tell us just what's going on?
The evil men can, the evil men cancan

Civilian
02:58
|

I'm a civilian and as a civilian I've been told
to follow opinion and form no opinions of my own
I live in a system, I live in a system of control
I'm no-one of wisdom no no
just one of a million out there who
see every day all those waves overflowing
as each of my days I give thanks I'm still dry
hear all those tales of what radars are showing
as leaders of nations are wondering why
they taste their champagne as volcanoes are blowing
and flee for those caves when it all hits the fan
sneer at campaigners finger and blame us
you can't entertain us with that, no no
just look at the book look at the book
and take another leaf from the page of the paranoid
take a revolution if it good to make illusion of a sunny day
you're telling me this sunny day
will come and wash all the rain away
I'm just looking at a bird of prey
picking on the people where they lay hey hey
stop in and look drop in and look
I never said there's no god
even if I've never been one who always prayed that hard
but if he's there now
come on mister engineer get it right get it right
I'm not a criminal no, you see the criminals are you
the ones in the yellow I know
the ones in the yellow reds and blue
if I couldn't be on stage here now
I would have it hard we try to be so cool
and I would be somewhere other
yes I would be somewhere out there just
feeling no ways as the days drift over me and
seeming I'm ok but deep down there's this man
feeding me tales what revelations are showing
and tells me it's going according to plan
but they never know what made the sun rise
and keeps it there glowing
and what makes the moon pull the waves from the sand
sneer at campaigners finger and blame us
you can't entertain us with that, no no
just look at the book look at the book
and take another leaf from the page of the paranoid
take a revolution if it good to make illusion of a sunny day
you're telling me this sunny day
will come and wash all the rain away
I'm just looking at a bird of prey
picking on the people where they lay hey hey
stop in and look drop in and look
I never said there's no god
even if I've never been one who always prayed that hard
but if he's there now
come on mister engineer get it right get it right
